Sea Bears’ Wright-Foreman named CEBL First Team All Star

WINNIPEG - The Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced its complete roster of award-winners and all-stars, including Winnipeg's Justin Wright-Foreman, who has been named to the first team roster.

Wright-Foreman earns his second consecutive first team all star nod after leading the CEBL in scoring in back-to-back seasons. The Brooklyn, N.Y. product is the only player to rank among the league’s top five in both points (26.3 per game) and assists (6.2 per game), good for first and third on the regular season, respectively. On June 27 against Niagara, he broke the league’s single-game assist record with 16 dimes against only two turnovers, guiding the Sea Bears’ offence to a convincing victory over the River Lions. 

Wright-Foreman was also named a finalist for MVP, ultimately conceding the award to Tazé Moore, a 2024 Portland Trail Blazer who’s averaged 17.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game for the West-leading Vancouver Bandits.

Award nominees and winners are determined by votes cast by the league’s head coaches, general managers, assistant coaches, select league broadcasters and internal media personnel. Team representatives are prohibited from voting for a player or head coach from their own team.

The 2024 All-CEBL First, Second, and All-Canadian Teams are as follows:

All CEBL First Team: Tazé Moore (Vancouver Bandits), Justin Wright-Foreman (Winnipeg Sea Bears), Cat Barber (Scarborough Shooting Stars), Khalil Ahmad (Niagara River Lions), Nick Ward (Vancouver Bandits)

All CEBL Second Team: Jahvon Blair (Niagara River Lions), Koby McEwen (Vancouver Bandits), Teddy Allen (Saskatchewan Rattlers), Jalen Harris (Saskatchewan Rattlers), Chris Smith (Montréal Alliance)

CEBL All-Canadian Team: Jahvon Blair (Niagara River Lions), Koby McEwen (Vancouver Bandits), Sean Miller-Moore (Calgary Surge), Mathieu Kamba (Calgary Surge), Brody Clarke (Edmonton Stingers)

All award winners were announced at the CEBL's awards banquet, which takes place as a part of Championship Weekend in Montreal this weekend. Winnipeg, in collaboration with the Province of Manitoba and City of Winnipeg, has won the bid to host Championship Weekend in 2025. Tickets for this historic event are now on sale as part of a season ticket bundle and will go on individual sale closer to next summer. For more information on Championship Weekend 2025, click here.
